DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0054] At present, with the development of display panel technology, the resolution and brightness of display panels are constantly improving to make the displayed images clearer. The power supply circuit in the electronic device supplies power to the display driving circuit to drive the display panel to display the image through the display driving circuit. However, in the process of supplying power to the display driving circuit, since the current required by the display driving circuit will change according to the image displayed by the display panel, the power supply circuit has the problem of low efficiency under different output currents.

[0055] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a power supply circuit. When the current required by the display driving circuit is different, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is changed through a switch circuit to adjust the inductance of the power supply circuit so that the inductance of the power supply circuit corresponds to the output current to improve the efficiency of the power supply circuit. At the same time, since the efficiency of the power supply circuit is improved, the power consumed by the power supply circuit is reduced, thereby extending the battery life of the electronic device.

[0056] An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a power supply circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power supply circuit includes a voltage conversion circuit 10 and a switch circuit 20. The voltage conversion circuit 10 includes an input terminal VIN, an output terminal VOUT and a plurality of inductors L. The input terminal VIN is used to couple with a power supply 30, and the output terminal VOUT is used to couple with a display driving circuit 40. The voltage conversion circuit 10 is used to convert the voltage of the power supply 30 and output it to the display driving circuit 40 to supply power to the display driving circuit 40. The switch circuit 20 is coupled to at least one inductor L. The switch circuit 20 is coupled to the inductor L in a one-end coupling or two-end coupling manner, and the switch circuit 20 is coupled between the input terminal VIN and the output terminal VOUT. The switch circuit 20 is used to control the coupled inductor L to be turned on and off between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40.

[0057] In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a voltage conversion circuit and a switch circuit. The switch circuit is coupled to at least one inductor in the voltage conversion circuit and is used to control the inductance coupled between the power supply and the display drive circuit. Since the size of the inductance affects the efficiency of the power supply circuit when the power supply current required by the display drive circuit is different, the size of the inductance of the power supply circuit is adjusted by changing the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display drive circuit through the switch circuit, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit. At the same time, since the efficiency of the power supply circuit is improved, the power consumed by the power supply circuit is reduced, thereby extending the battery life of the electronic device.

[0058] Exemplarily, the switch circuit 20 may be an integrated switch module or a separate switch device.

[0059] Exemplarily, the display driving circuit 40 may be a display driver chip (Display Driver IC, DDIC).

[0060] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a plurality of inductance branches coupled in parallel, and each inductance branch is coupled between the input terminal VIN and the output terminal VOUT, and each inductance L is located in an inductance branch. The switch circuit 20 includes at least one switch unit 21, each switch unit 21 is arranged in an inductance branch, and different switch units 21 are located in different inductance branches, and the switch unit 21 is coupled in series with the inductance L in the inductance branch where it is located.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the switch circuit includes at least one switch unit and the switch unit is coupled in series with the inductor, the switch unit is coupled in series with the inductor in at least one inductor branch. By turning on the switch unit, the inductor coupled in series with the switch unit can be connected between the power supply and the display drive circuit. By turning off the switch unit, the inductor coupled in series with the switch unit can be disconnected from the power supply and the display drive circuit. By turning on or off the switch unit, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display drive circuit is changed, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit and reducing the complexity of the power supply circuit control.

[0062] Exemplarily, the number of the switch unit 21 may be one. When the number of the switch unit 21 is one, the switch unit 21 may only adjust whether the inductor L coupled in series with the switch unit 21 is coupled between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40. Since the number of the switch units 21 is small, the volume of the power supply circuit and the complexity of the power supply circuit control can be reduced.

[0063] In one embodiment, there are multiple switch units 21 , and each inductor branch includes a switch unit 21 and an inductor L.

[0064] In this embodiment, each inductor branch includes a switch unit and an inductor coupled in series. Since each inductor is adjusted by the corresponding switch unit to be coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is precisely controlled, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit. Moreover, when the power supply circuit needs to be powered off, in addition to being powered off by the voltage conversion circuit, the power supply circuit can also be powered off twice by disconnecting all the switch units to improve the reliability of the power supply circuit.

[0065] Exemplarily, the number of inductors L can be set to 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., and the number of switch units 21 can be set to 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. correspondingly.

[0066] It is understandable that, in addition to each inductor branch including a switch unit 21 and an inductor L, some inductor branches may include the switch unit 21 and some inductor branches may not include the switch unit 21, which is not limited here.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of inductors L include a first inductor L1 and a second inductor L2, and the plurality of switch units 21 include a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The first inductor L1 is coupled in series with the first transistor T1 to form a first inductor branch in the inductor branch, and the second inductor L2 is coupled in series with the second transistor T2 to form a second inductor branch in the inductor branch.

[0068] In this embodiment, by coupling the first inductor branch and the second inductor branch in parallel, the two inductors in the voltage conversion circuit can provide three inductances to the power supply circuit to adjust the inductance, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit. At the same time, since the inductance in the power supply circuit can be changed with fewer inductors and transistors, and the efficiency of the power supply circuit can be greatly improved, the complexity of the power supply circuit structure and control is reduced.

[0069] Exemplarily, when the first transistor T1 is turned on and the second transistor T2 is turned off, the first inductor L1 is coupled between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40, and the inductance of the power supply circuit is equal to the inductance value L of the first inductor L1. 1 When the first transistor T1 is turned off and the second transistor T2 is turned on, the second inductor L2 is coupled between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40, and the inductance of the power supply circuit is equal to the inductance value L of the second inductor L2. 2 When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both turned on, the first inductor L1 and the second inductor L2 are both coupled between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40, and the inductance of the power supply circuit is the inductance value L of the first inductor L1 and the second inductor L2 in parallel. 1 *L2 / (L 1 +L 2 ).

[0070] In one embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a boost circuit.

[0071] In this embodiment, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is adjusted by the switch circuit, so that the efficiency of the power supply circuit can be improved when the power supply circuit boosts the voltage to supply power to the display driving circuit.

[0072] Exemplarily, the voltage boosting circuit may be a Boost circuit.

[0073] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4 and a first capacitor C1. The first end of the third transistor T3 is coupled to the first end of each inductor branch, and the second end of the third transistor T3 is used to couple with the ground terminal GND. The first end of the fourth transistor T4 is coupled to the first end of the third transistor T3, and the second end of the fourth transistor T4 is coupled to the output terminal VOUT. The first end of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the second end of the fourth transistor T4, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is used to couple with the ground terminal GND. Among them, the second end of each inductor branch is coupled to the input terminal VIN. The multiple switch units 21 may include, for example, a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The multiple inductors L may include, for example, a first inductor L1 and a second inductor L2.

[0074] In this embodiment, the third transistor and the fourth transistor can be matched with the inductor to play a role of boosting, and the voltage input by the power supply can be boosted through the input end to supply power to the display driving circuit through the output end. By changing the number of inductors connected to the boosting circuit through the switch circuit, the inductance of the boosting circuit can be adjusted when the third transistor and the fourth transistor boost the input voltage to supply power to the display driving circuit, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit.

[0075] Exemplarily, the voltage conversion circuit 10 may further include a fourth capacitor C4 and a fifth capacitor C5. A first end of the fourth capacitor C4 is coupled to the input terminal VIN, and a second end of the fourth capacitor C4 is coupled to a second end of the third transistor T3. A first end of the fifth capacitor C5 is coupled to a first end of the first capacitor C1, and a second end of the fifth capacitor C5 is coupled to a second end of the first capacitor C1.

[0076] In one embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a step-down circuit.

[0077] In this embodiment, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is adjusted by the switch circuit, so that the efficiency of the power supply circuit can be improved when the power supply circuit steps down the voltage to supply power to the display driving circuit.

[0078] Exemplarily, the step-down circuit may be a Buck circuit.

[0079] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6 and a second capacitor C2. The first end of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the input terminal VIN, and the second end of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the first end of each inductor branch. The first end of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the second end of the fifth transistor T5, and the second end of the sixth transistor T6 is used to couple to the ground terminal GND. The first end of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the second end of each inductor branch and the output terminal VOUT, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 is used to couple to the ground terminal GND. The multiple switch units 21 may include, for example, a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The multiple inductors L may include, for example, a first inductor L1 and a second inductor L2.

[0080] In this embodiment, the fifth transistor and the sixth transistor can play a role of voltage reduction in combination with the inductor, and the voltage input by the power supply can be reduced through the input end to supply power to the display driving circuit through the output end. By changing the number of inductors connected to the voltage reduction circuit through the switch circuit, the inductance of the voltage reduction circuit can be adjusted when the fifth transistor and the sixth transistor reduce the input voltage to supply power to the display driving circuit, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit.

[0081] Exemplarily, the voltage conversion circuit 10 may further include a sixth capacitor C6 and a seventh capacitor C7. A first end of the sixth capacitor C6 is coupled to the input terminal VIN, and a second end of the sixth capacitor C6 is used to couple to the ground terminal GND. A first end of the seventh capacitor C7 is coupled to a first end of the second capacitor C2, and a second end of the seventh capacitor C7 is coupled to a second end of the second capacitor C2.

[0082] In one embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a buck-boost circuit.

[0083] In this embodiment, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is adjusted by the switch circuit, so that the efficiency of the power supply circuit can be improved when the power supply circuit boosts or bucks the display driving circuit.

[0084] Exemplarily, the step-up and step-down circuit may be a Buck-Boost circuit.

[0085] In one embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 10 includes a seventh transistor T7, an eighth transistor T8 and a third capacitor C3. The first end of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the input terminal VIN, and the second end of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the first end of each inductor branch. The first end of the eighth transistor T8 is coupled to the second end of the seventh transistor T7, and the second end of the eighth transistor T8 is coupled to the output terminal VOUT. The first end of the third capacitor C3 is coupled to the second end of the eighth transistor T8, and the second end of the third capacitor C3 is coupled to the second end of each inductor branch and the ground terminal GND. The plurality of switch units 21 may include, for example, a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The plurality of inductors L may include, for example, a first inductor L1 and a second inductor L2.

[0086] In this embodiment, the seventh transistor and the eighth transistor can play a role of stepping up and down in combination with the inductor, and can step up or down the voltage input by the power supply through the input end to power the display driving circuit through the output end. By changing the number of inductors connected to the step-up circuit through the switch circuit, the seventh transistor and the eighth transistor can adjust the inductance of the step-up and step-down circuit when stepping up or down the input voltage to power the display driving circuit, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit.

[0087] Exemplarily, the voltage conversion circuit 10 may further include an eighth capacitor C8 and a ninth capacitor C9. The first end of the eighth capacitor C8 is coupled to the input terminal VIN, and the second end of the eighth capacitor C8 is used to couple to the ground terminal GND. The first end of the ninth capacitor C9 is coupled to the first end of the third capacitor C3, and the second end of the ninth capacitor C9 is coupled to the second end of the third capacitor C3.

[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, each inductor L is coupled in series between the input terminal VIN and the output terminal VOUT. The switch circuit 20 includes at least one switch unit 21, each switch unit 21 is coupled in parallel with an inductor L, and different switch units 21 are coupled with different inductors L.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the switch circuit includes at least one switch unit and the switch unit is coupled in parallel with the inductor, the switch unit is coupled in parallel with at least one inductor. By turning on the switch unit, the inductor coupled in parallel with the switch unit can be disconnected from the power supply and the display drive circuit. By turning off the switch unit, the inductor coupled in parallel with the switch unit can be connected between the power supply and the display drive circuit. By turning on or off the switch unit, the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display drive circuit is changed, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit and reducing the complexity of the power supply circuit control.

[0090] Exemplarily, the number of the switch unit 21 may be one. When the number of the switch unit 21 is one, the switch unit 21 may only adjust whether the inductor L coupled in parallel with the switch unit 21 is coupled between the power supply 30 and the display driving circuit 40. Since the number of the switch units 21 is small, the volume of the power supply circuit and the complexity of the power supply circuit control can be reduced.

[0091] In one embodiment, the number of the switch units 21 is the same as the number of the inductors L. Each switch unit 21 is coupled to an inductor L in parallel.

[0092] In this embodiment, since each inductor is adjusted by a corresponding switch unit to determine whether it is coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit, precise control of the number of inductors coupled between the power supply and the display driving circuit is achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply circuit.

[0093] Exemplarily, the number of inductors L can be set to 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., and the number of switch units 21 can be set to 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. correspondingly.

[0094] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the plurality of inductors include a third inductor L3 and a fourth inductor L4, and the plurality of switch units 21 include a ninth transistor T9 and a tenth transistor T10. The third inductor L3 and the fourth inductor L4 are connected in series, the ninth transistor T9 is coupled in parallel with the third inductor L3, and the tenth transistor T10 is coupled in parallel with the fourth inductor L4.
